I strongly suspect that the lack of REAL 4G in the USA has a lot to do with the bullshit ‘4G’ marketing champaign. If people are deluded enough to think they have 4G, then why bother with REAL 4G? Kinda sick.

If, by some miracle, 5G deployment is accelerated due to the lack of REAL 4G deployment, that would be useful outcome.

Samsung can laugh and say their smartphones are better than iPhones because have theoretical higher download speeds whether it works in practice or not. It’s always about mine is better than yours because of X.

WHY?
Meanwhile, clowns chatter about 5G tech. <I>Right.</I> Check back in 3 years, maybe.
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_Advanced" rel="nofollow"><b>LTE Advanced</b> @Wikipedia</a>
Stupid, lazy cell phone services. :-P]]>From a USA perspective: We know the iPhone 6s, 7, 8, X and iPad Pro are all able to use LTE Advanced, aka REAL 4G (versus mere ‘LTE’ phones that are technically only 3G phones).

The problem is, where in the USA can use GET LTE Advanced?! Chicago, maybe, if you have Verizon. Otherwise: No where. LTE Advanced became a standard in April 2011, over six years ago, and we’re still waiting for US deployment. 💤💤

WHY?
